Pink and Black Checkerboard Clay?

So I'm using the /fill command to make a roof for a shop, and I type:
/fill x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 Clay 6
whilst attempting to make a roof of pink stained clay. Instead, I get pink and black checkerboard blocks. (Same thing happens no matter what number I put at the end, granted I put a positive integer less than 16.)
I thought at first that I should put hardened_clay instead of Clay, and the same thing happens. Finally, after consulting the wiki, I found out that the correct usage is Stained_Hardened_Clay. So now that I've got my clay, is the checkerboard block supposed to be like that?
Attached is a picture of the building with the checkerboard roof.
EDIT: I guess users didn't get what I was aiming at with this. My point wasn't that the /fill command wasn't working, my point was that the checkerboard clay was appearing for all numbers, when those data values don't even exist.

The ID for stained clay is minecraft:stained_hardened_clay not clay

it's stained_hardened_clay
no capitalisation
invalid

@Preben: That wasn't the aim of my post. The aim was the checkerboard clay that somehow appeared when I used clay X or hardened_clay X.
@FVbico: Yeah, i know it's not capitalized. But what do you mean by "invalid"?
@Preben: Exactly my point.

Those checkerboards are the "missing texture" texture, as there's no block with the id "clay 6" it will use missing texture.

It would make more sense to give an error message like "invalid damage value" instead of placing/giving the blocks. But I guess it doesn't matter as Dinnerbone is working on removing metadata.

So any block that has a missing texture, not just clay, will have the checkerboard?

yes, all invalid values use the missing texture texture

Yeah, it acts like a placeholder.
